A.P.C.

Founded in 1987 by designer Jean Touitou, Paris-based A.P.C.—short for Atelier de Production et de Création—gained overnight recognition for its now-signature raw denim jeans. The following three-plus decades cemented the label’s standing as an originator of the elevated basic in its truest sense, with designs that prioritize stylistic simplicity, quality of material, and meticulous attention to cut. The brand’s wardrobe is characterized by core pieces like buttoned blouses, light coats, leather bags, and classic denim that offer the kind of natural grace found only in the understated. A model of sartorial subtlety and finesse, A.P.C. is a timeless label of classic, enduring cool.
